...some decent riding! chris, martin and i rode our bikes to the german / austrian border to camp out at an old deserted castle. had some problems when we were about to leave, chris noticed his oh so small peanut tank had a leak so he quickly mounted a spare one. we all realized the blue one looked even better on his sweeeet knuck. first test ride-- something like 130 miles total and she was running like a champ. this bike isn't a show bike but man.. martin and i had trouble keeping up on our shovels! lotsa nice twisting turns and a good amount of speed. good times good memories

before i left town to meet the others-even the kids from the neighborhood were diggin the new look of my chopper and wanted to check it out

shortly before we left. well, shortly before the grey tank was changed with the blue one that didn't leak

our first stop about 1 mile from where we started. F-U-C-K-I-N rain

gassing up and meeting crazy dudes (note guy with the shopping cart)

we made it without any problems and before dark. well, almost

mr. brillmayr aka the cricket collected some semi-dry firewood and started a fire

here ya go

me proudly presenting my mexican hippie vest and dopest sweater in the world (max, yer 4Q sweater always kept me warm)- note the incredible old ruin in the background whose history dates back as far as 1263 AD

our third man from italy mr. segattini

waking up the next morning in this surronding what more can you ask for?

can't wait to ride my bike all the way up north to the jokers posse!! it's gonna be a long trip and i'm super psyched. don't wanna wait any longer to see many amazing cars and bikes and of course my friends from sweden-mr. segattini and i will be heading down south to italy first to check out the jesolo bike show at the infamous gasoline road bar. couple of days later we hit the road again and drive up to meet our good friends from munich,the Draggers CC in bottrop (http://www.bottropkustomkulture.com) this show's gonna be a blast for sure. most importantly hopefully the fuckin german weather gods are with us this year!
